Panel on A Path Forward in #CHLS2026's symposium on vaccines with @SLU_HealthLaw Montreal McNeill Ransom: success of vaccines depends on partnership with law and policy. Scientific evidence is not enough. Institutions need to support it.

Panel on A Path Forward in #CHLS2026's symposium on vaccines with @sluhealthlaw.bsky.social @brianabramson: all pharmaceutical products require testing to show they're effective and safe - vaccines are the most extensively regulated product. Fall under two regulatory regimes.

Panel on Pediatric Vaccine Schedule in #CHLS2026's symposium on vaccines with @SLU_HealthLaw @richardhughesiv: July 7th - AAP agreed to be part of lawsuit. How would that work? Richard: if we don't do it, we would be looking back and say "we could have done something."

Panel on Pediatric Vaccine Schedule in #CHLS2026's symposium on vaccines with @sluhealthlaw.bsky.social @richardhughesiv: congress trusted ACIP in many ways. embedded evidence-based recommendations into law. A little tricky legally, but a good way to decide this.

Panel on Pediatric Vaccine Schedule in #CHLS2026's symposium on vaccines with @SLU_HealthLaw Dr. Yvonne Maldonado: former ACIP members wrote about the degrading of process under Kennedy's new ACIP. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41135287/

Panel on Pediatric Vaccine Schedule in #CHLS2026's symposium on vaccines with @SLU_HealthLaw Jennifer Seo, Illinois Department of Public Health: Vaccines for Children - important program, over 50% of U.S. children eligible. ACIP did not seem to understand how it mattered.

Panel on Pediatric Vaccine Schedule in #CHLS2026's symposium on vaccines with @SLU_HealthLaw Dr. Yvonne Maldonado: Vaccine is no good in the bottle; after approval and recommendations, you need to get it to people and you need uptake.

Big thanks to @doritreiss.bsky.social both for joining us today at @slulaw.bsky.social for our annual #healthlaw symposium AND for keeping Bluesky updated on the day’s proceedings. We are so glad you’re here for these critical convos!

Says Prof. Ana Santos Rutschman in #CHLS2026's symposium on A Defining Moment for Vaccine Science and Policy in @sluhealthlaw.bsky.social : vaccines are their own ecosystem, but they're related to other products. In this case, the alternative to vaccines for Lyme is antibiotics - not all get.

Grateful to Prof Rebecca Haw Allensworth for her talk today, “The Licensing Racket,” which explored how licensing boards, full of subject-matter experts but often lacking regulatory perspective, can, in the pursuit of a “more professional profession,” engage in practices that limit access to care.

Policies shape health. Now we can measure how. The PIPH Project, co-led by Prof. Heather Walter-McCabe, has released the first dataset tracking U.S. conversion therapy laws. Read more: www.slu.edu/law/news/202... @profwaltermac.bsky.social @slulaw.bsky.social @templelegalepi.bsky.social
